MCP YouTube Transcript
An MCP server retrieving transcripts of YouTube videos
Description from the maker (original English)
Google Trends, YouTube, Ads Transparency and Play reviews over plain HTTP. No API key.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.0) reached the registry 3 months ago.

GA4 MCP server for AI agents: schema discovery, server-side aggregation, analysis-ready defaults.
AI video summarizer: summarize and transcribe YouTube, Bilibili, TikTok and podcast videos.

An MCP server for four Google data surfaces that answer to plain HTTP — no API key, no browser, no scraping service:
| Tool | What it returns |
|---|---|
google_trends_interest | Interest over time for one keyword (0–100, weekly or hourly points) |
google_trends_compare | Up to 5 keywords in ONE request, so the values *are* comparable |
google_trends_trending | What is trending right now in a country |
youtube_listing | A channel's Shorts, a channel's videos, or search results |
google_ads_advertisers | Advertisers in the Ads Transparency Center, by name |
google_ads_creatives | Every ad an advertiser runs — format, preview URL, first/last shown |
google_play_reviews | App reviews — rating, text, date, version, developer reply |
Everything leaves from your machine's IP, and Google's per-IP budget accumulates over hours. This is not a caveat buried at the bottom; it is the main thing that decides whether this server is right for your job.
Measured: an unpaced burst was rate-limited at request 93, and after roughly 130 *paced* requests spread over hours the same address was refused on the first request of a fresh session. While writing this server, both the author's IPs — a home connection and a datacenter VPS — ended the day refused by Google Trends.
So this server caches every result on disk (~/.cache/google-data-mcp) and paces its requests. That is enough for interactive use: asking an agent a handful of questions, exploring a topic, checking a competitor. It is not enough for bulk work, and no amount of local code can make one IP behave like many.
If you need volume, the same clients run behind rotating proxies as Apify Actors: Google Trends · YouTube · Ads Transparency.
YouTube transcripts. They look available — the watch page still lists caption tracks — but api/timedtext returns zero bytes and /youtubei/v1/get_transcript answers Precondition check failed even when sent the page's own INNERTUBE_CONTEXT and visitorData, and the ANDROID and IOS player clients are refused the same way. A transcript tool here would be a promise this server cannot keep, so there isn't one.
pipx install google-data-mcp
Then register it with your MCP client. For Claude Code:
claude mcp add google-data -- google-data-mcp
Or by hand, in an MCP client config:
{
"mcpServers": { "google-data": { "command": "google-data-mcp" } } }
google_trends_interest calls are not comparable to each other; that is what google_trends_compare is for. Google caps a comparison at 5 terms and silently drops a 6th, so a 6th is refused rather than quietly ignored.hl/gl pair returns a *different* set of reviews — six locales gave 120 unique reviews of the same app. Vary them to widen coverage rather than paging deeper in one language.include_author if you genuinely need the name.ads list with a non-zero declared count is information, not a failure.searchVolume on trending terms is Google's own rounded bucket, not a precise count.These are public pages, but none of them has an official public API and each platform's Terms of Service restrict automated access. You are responsible for how you use the output. No personal data is collected by default.
python -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install -e .
.venv/bin/python -m google_data_mcp # speaks MCP over stdio
Each client is plain standard library and can be exercised on its own, which is the fastest way to check whether Google changed something:
.venv/bin/python -c "from google_data_mcp.play import PlayClient; print(len(PlayClient().reviews('com.spotify.music', limit=40)))"
